Christopher Martin

Welcome to the ENS Book Blog...

My name is Chris Martin and I am a school psychologist from Upstate New York and empty nose sufferer of 10 years. I would like to welcome you to the blog for discussing Having Nasal Surgery? Don't You Become An Empty Nose Victim! I wrote this book out of a desire to raise awareness of ENS to a new level and also in part because there were so few resources for ENS sufferers. While writing it, I learned that many of the strategies for treating ENS could actually be very beneficial for a host of nasal and sinus problems. This book is part testimonial and part informational. Who could benefit from this book? Treatment strategies in it could significantly help those with ENS, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, postnasal drip, acid reflux, and/or asthma (pretty much anyone with kleenex in the house). An unbiased review of medical literature could empower those considering nose or sinus surgery. The testimonial and scientific journey of ENS could inform ENT specialists and plastic surgeons; scientists studying regenerative medicine; and families and friends.

The following was posted at the www.postnasaldrip.net website. Hearing that ENTs are now discussing how to better spare nasal mucosa nearly brought tears to my eyes. I appreciated what Dr. Grossan said so much that I thought I would post it here:

Yesterday I invited people who have read the newly released book by Chris Martin to express their thoughts and comments. The book is entitled “Having Nasal Surgery? Don’t You Become An Empty Nose Victim!”The well known ENT specialist and author, Dr. Murray Grossan, sent in the following comment. Dr. Grossan is the inventor of the Hydro Pulse nasal irrigation system that has helped countless sinus sufferers, including myself. Here is Dr. Grossan’s message:

“Chris Martin's book is excellent and I recommend it to patients. ENS is so little understood or appreciated by the ENT profession. I am attending the national ENT convention and for the first time there is discussion of care to spare the mucosa and prevent ENS, this has come about from patient advocacy. I think patients benefit when they can discuss with the doctor, "will this procedure cause ENS and are there alternatives?"

Because of my connection with the Hydro Pulse I probably hear from more persons with ENS than the average doctor so I can appreciate what the patient feels.

The important point is that ENS is preventable and this book will go a long way to that prevention. Yes, if you are having ENT surgery read this book.

Murray Grossan, M.D.

Thanks to Dr. Grossan for his comments. ENS is still in the awareness building stage, so if you have friends or family who also are considering sinus surgery, please pass the word about the new book.
